You got my gist, but missed what I meant. Many WNs refuse to get on assistance, even if they qualify. They think it is weak, or they are embarrassed...etc...

My point is, as you did get... the more people on it, the faster the SHTF. Embarrassed or not, get on it. in fact, depending on if you qualify, but still have resources (such as a home garden). You can use the assistance to get your prepping supplies.

Stay self-independent, but use what the libtards are giving to prepare for when the libtards screw the pooch.

Indeed, the current system has made us dependent on the government, as most of our jobs disappeared (jobs went overseas).

The world has an agricultural and distribution system that grew up on cheap fossil fuel, especially cheap oil. There is no more cheap fossil fuel, and there's nothing to replace it. So this system is breaking down.

There is plentiful natural gas, apparently, especially in the USA, so switching to this from oil is a realistic possibility.

A bio-based economy is a potential alternative, especially for separatists, but it would require more serious infrastructure change. It would also mean a loss of power for those who have it on account of fossil fuels, so it isn't likely to become mainstream anytime soon.
